Strange but true..Most of the time, persistence and determination does, what talents and education doesn't... They are the most important keys, if you ever wanted to succeed in life, at any cost. Most of the time the qualified folks become victims to their own ego and shyness whereas the less qualified or no qualified folks, out of their optimistic attitude, create opportunities to project and position themselves and eventually winning. Bible/God said it. Go for it. Be persistent, determined.
